Having previously had a few problems the last time we visited Roly's in March of this year, which were well dealt with by Lisa, we had a exceptional dinner on our return on Friday 24 November. Khan looked after us extremely well, very professional and...More

We booked Rolys for my husbands 50th birthday dinner..
Rolys has been a family favourite for Sunday lunch, and family get-together a/ celebrations for years - so we knew we would enjoy it.
Khan (and in fact all the staff) were superb. I had alerted...More

We booked a table for 4 people for lunch. We found the service very unfriendly. We had to constantly try to get a waiters attention to order drinks and had to ask 3 times for the bill. Waiters walking past the table in a hurry...More

I love this place. I have very happy memories of meals here in the past but hadn't been for a while. We were treating our two grown children living out. I don't think we could have brought them to a better place. The curtained booth...More

I had the three-course lunch, choosing the leek and potato soup and the roast chicken with sage and sausage stuffing. Also had the house merlot, very smooth. I didn't have time for the dessert so they kindly took 3 euros off the bill even though...More

Some restaurants do this and staff don't get much of a say in the practice. Not many people are aware however that the service charge is discretionary and you do not have to pay it.

Some restaurants do this and staff don't get much of a say in the practice. Not many people are aware however that the service charge is discretionary and you do not have to pay it.
In the past I have asked for it to be removed from the bill and left the 10% in cash as a tip for the waiter. (Cuts out the middleman and makes sure it is going to the staff) staff usually pool their tips and share them at the end of the evening. (Like the restaurant is supposed to do with the service charge.)

Roly's Bistro opened in Dublin in November 1992 and quickly became one of the city's busiest and best loved restaurants. Its reasonably-priced menu and wine list together with a casual, light-hearted atmosphere made it an instant hit with everybody from romantic couples to families, from business executives to local and visiting celebrities. Today, a team of 27 chefs serve freshly-cooked food to over three thousand people a week without compromising on quality and standards. Fresh heated bread is baked daily in the bakery.
